Ganesh Chaturthi Celebration cannot be complete without plate full of 'Lord Vinayakars' favourite Modaks. According to the ancient stories it is believed that Ganeshji loved modaks and ladoos the most and could eat stomach full of these sweets. So to make him happy we offer him with his favourite desserts during puja and arti.

There are many ways of making these modaks with variety of fillings. I am sharing an easy and tasty method here. I have prepared a mawa and dry fruit filling and made a fried one.
